3/16 Variflow Edstrom Brass Drinker

Vari-Flo Drinking Valve

The Vari-Flo valve is precision machined from solid brass with a 3/16 inch barb for Flex-Tube system connections. The small diameter of the stainless steel stem that the animal must move to release water and the low force required to move it makes this valve ideal for use with even the smallest of creatures, such as weanling mice and finches.

The Vari-Flo valve is available with a 3/16" barb connection (part number 1000-8000) for use with Valve Clip part number 1100-7440 or with a 1/8" male pipe thread connection (part number 1000-8010) (see diagram below). The rate that water is discharged from the Vari-Flo Valve can be adjusted over a wide range to best suit your animals and reduce the spillage of water into the cage as the animal drinks. The rate can be adjusted from a slow trickle, 20 cc per minute, to a strong stream, 100 cc per minute.

These are the drinkers that we use for our multis, rats and mice.
